Grealish is set to return to Everton on a season-long loan after enjoying a productive spell at the club last season. The move gives the England international another opportunity to revive his form and secure regular first-team football after struggling for consistent minutes at Manchester City.
At the same time, Manchester City have agreed a £65 million deal for Iliman Ndiaye, comprising £60 million guaranteed and a further £5 million in potential bonuses. The Senegal international had also attracted strong interest from Tottenham, but City moved ahead of Spurs after late negotiations.
City are also exploring a major move for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernández, with talks underway as manager Enzo Maresca looks to strengthen his squad before the window closes. The potential deal could become one of the biggest late moves of the window if the clubs reach an agreement.
Everton, meanwhile, are reshaping their squad after agreeing a £40 million deal for Monaco striker Folarin Balogun, while also working on other late additions and departures.
With the Premier League deadline set for 11pm BST on September 1, clubs are racing to complete paperwork, medicals and final negotiations before the window closes.
With Grealish heading back to Everton, Ndiaye moving closer to Manchester City and Fernández at the centre of a late transfer battle, the final hours of the 2026 summer window promise plenty of drama and last-minute surprises.
